Westlake Ace Hardware

I was impressed they had the fittings I needed for flared fittings. We were ale to get all mini splits installed without having to drive out of our way or wait for them

We couldn't find the weed eater parts and we had to wait a few until the salesman finished helping another person. Then he not only helped us but so graciously, and he got us everything we needed. Never been anywhere else that the sales people went over and beyond to help.

I went in to get trim paint, and they matched color and mixed it up perfectly and quickly.

Westlake is top notch in Ark City Kansas, very well stocked Hardware store and employees are very attentive in helping you find the items your looking for.

We may not have many of the wonderful old hardware stores any more, but Ace Hardware is pretty terrific in it's own right.
Well organized, clean, well lighted, friendly, well informed staff. Extremely kind, helpful management. If you're like me, sometimes you look at an item and have more questions than answers. There are people available with answers here.
One caveat; Read the front, back and inside of every purchase. I bought a faucet set at Ace(could've been anywhere though).Info on the back stated that the
lining of faucet could contaminate your water with lead and other chemicals. This was, I think, by California standards.
Thirty years ago I lived in California; have friends that still do. They're hardly the bug-eyed crazies the midwest sometimes casts them as. I Took the faucet back to Ace. They were great about returning it, and offer any number of alternatives that *don't* have the option of poisoning your water supply 🙂.

The prices here are a little high to begin with and then the tax rate makes it even more painful HOWEVER, they do seem to have a very good selection and a pretty helpful staff. The store remains well stocked and in very good order. I'm pleasantly surprised by the fastener selection from a small town location. It has to be worth something to have so much "at the ready" I guess.

The highlight here is the helpful staff and the wide variety of stuff you won't find in other places, even in the bigger box retailers. In spring and summer, they supplement their offerings inside with a variety of outdoor offerings, a good variety of floral and garden plants available, as well as lawn decor and outdoor living products.

VERY Nice store! Well stocked; very clean; overall layout is well-defined & creates a great shopping atmosphere. But what made it the best was the helpful employees. I will be going back soon!

My assistant was very helpful and extremely pleasant.note: they still carry padded toilet seats also. 2 thumbs up for me lol

Great deal on light bulbs! I love finding hidden deals.

Neatly organized and friendly staff. Great layout and room in the store.

Great selection for any any project around the house or the shop with a with the added bonus of at least 15 minutes needed to browse items.ie grilling and specialty items you won't find everywhere

Erin always took the time to explain everything for us and were very knowledgeable. Very pleased with our experience here!!

Erin was helpful and friendly even though she had a lot on her hands! I appreciate the service!

Had exactly what I needed! Staff was very helpful! Everytime I go in they always ask if I need help finding anything even if they are busy doing something else.

Great choice and variety. Get best of both worlds can shop at Dollar Tree next door as well. I don't know what I would do without this store in town.

I think your rain gauges are little too pricey but I love your store I wish shop in there all the time but the rain gauges were just too outrageous

My all-time favorite place to buy plants in the spring, everybody's always very nice and friendly here. I definitely plan on going back again!

Bill and Erin are so helpful. When no plumber would answer the phone or return a call, they stepped in to help. ♥ ACE

Recently rearranged the tool section, made it much easier to find what you need. The hardware section has what I need almost every time, and the window repair service did am excellent job
